And, it's too early this time. I've been away recently and have 18 messages that I'm a bit overwhelmed by. That's not to say that they're not all appreciated! In fact, I appreciate them greatly. It's nice to be noticed, y'know.

The reason for my absence was not of my own decision, I assure you. My internet was swiftly and horribly yanked when my bill went overdue! *gah* I was not a happy camper. In fact, I was terribly bored and felt lost being so far from my internet friends. Not something I wish to replay anytime soon!

Nonetheless, I'm back again and am vaguely wondering if I was even missed. That is something which I battle with more than a little unfortunately. Being stuck at home on a regular basis with no vehicle, nowhere to go, no phone to talk to others and virtually a hermit (again, not of my own choice), I find myself often seeking friendships online. Yes, I am fully aware that not everyone is who they seem to be, but that's the case even in person (in some instances anyway). So, I take my friends as I find them. Thankful for them and grateful that I have them at all.

Now, as to the number of comments that I've received these past few weeks, let me say that I HAVE read them but haven't been able to appropriately answer them because I'm so far behind. Perhaps it's because some are just silliness (which I enjoy probably more than I should ). But, once again, I DO appreciate all the views, the comments about my work and the hugs and such I've received.

I've had a confusing situation crop up recently though. Three of four backgrounds I made were deleted and one was moved. I suppose I understand where the "powers that be" are coming from though as these backgrounds were of the movie "Van Helsing" and although they were screencaps from my own DVD, I guess they were considered stolen. Perhaps I don't necessarily agree with that, but I do respect it. Thus, those 3 backgrounds are no longer on this site and unfortunately gone except in comments made about them to me personally. My apologies, gabrielsangel [link] ! I hope you thought to save them to your own harddrive. If not, let me know and I'll email them to you if you like. I always have a backup plan. *ahem*

Thanks for stopping by and leave me a note if you like. I'll do my best to answer them. I do so love it here! The people are so nice and they've given me a lot of compliments as well as constructive criticisms which I appreciate. See you again soon, I hope! *makes wavies and passes out hugs*
